Historic Bridges

Evaluation, Preservation, and Management Edited by

Hojjat Adeli

Ohio State University, Columbus, USA

Perhaps more than any other engineered structures, bridges represent the height of resourcefulness both in their design and their use of materials. Stone, brick, timber, wrought iron, steel, and concrete have all been effectively employed in a myriad of structural forms, many of which still stand as testimony to the brilliance of bridge designers throughout the history of civilization, from ancient China to the modern-day United States. This work provides both an admiring and detailed technical assessment of bridge engineering by exploring several remarkable examples and detailing the evolution of bridge design. Demonstrating historic significance beyond their utilitarian function, the bridges encountered in these pages are true landmarks, as worthy of emulation as they are preservation.

Björn Akesson

Consulting Engineer, Fagersta, Sweden

Consulting Engineer, Fagersta, Sweden

This well-illustrated and comprehensive review of local buckling in bridges covers theory, background, and simple design calculations relevant to this intriguing phenomenon, analyzing successful attempts to intercede in the buckling process. But because examination of failures provides valuable information about the phenomenon of buckling, this text also presents several failure case studies, including five bridge collapses that occurred in a four-yearperiod between 1969 and 1973. With a highly visual and descriptive style that will be especially useful for practicing civil and structural engineers and advanced-level undergraduate and graduate students, this book provides easy-to-follow design examples that conform to the latest Eurocode, and it takes a special look at thin-walled plated bridge girders. Catalog no. SW1956, 2007, 164 pp. ISBN: 978-0-415-43195-8, $73.95 / £40.99

Structural engineering has certainly evolved, but there is still much to be learned about the extraordinarily complex phenomena of fatigue and buckling. Because much of today’s understanding is based on past failures, consulting engineers and advanced students of structural and bridge engineering will appreciate this richly illustrated and detailed analysis of 20 historic bridge collapses that elucidates the theory, related phenomena, and mathematical theories related to each example. This book presents failure analyses and reinforces them with accepted explanations and, in some cases, new theories to describe the gradual development of bridge types used and choice of construction material. The chronological order of events and gradual development of ideas will have a positive effect on engineers’ acceptance and visualization of essential mathematical theories. Catalog no.

Waban, Massachusetts, USA

Dina D’Ayala and Enrico Fodde

University of Bath, Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, England

Successful preservation of a historic building, complex, or city depends on its continued use, daily care, and adaptation to modern standards and practices of living. Conservation engineers must understand, interpret, and manage architectural heritage to safely deliver it to posterity, enhancing private or public utility by working toward minimum loss of fabric and significance. These two objectives are sometimes conflicting, and with growing global interest in conservation engineering, more inclusive definitions of significance and better-articulated safety concepts and technologies must be determined. This collection of over 250 papers inspired by an international conference presents the latest findings on preservation in diverse cultural circumstances. Catalog no.

Exact Solutions for Buckling of Structural Members

Materials and Corrosion Prevention

Steel-Reinforced Concrete Structures Assessment and Repair of Corrosion Mohamed A. El-Reedy

Engineering Consultant (oil & gas industry), Giza, Egypt

The widespread and long-term use of reinforced concrete makes its correct and proper examination, maintenance, and repair paramount. This practical guide to concrete structure maintenance covers the corrosion of steel in concrete and discusses practical techniques for protecting steel reinforcement and for repairs after corrosion begins. Breaking down the corrosion phenomena, the author includes precautions that can be taken in the construction stage to mitigate it. Stressing the importance of implementing integrity management systems for maintenance strategies, the author offers theoretical and practical approaches to diagnose corrosion, protect steel reinforcement, and select an appropriate method of repair.
